This is the first I've seen this article and it worded like that. If true, it would rule out speculation that the audio, video and photos came from the cloud. The daily beast is not necessarily the most credible source, however, and I'm not convinced that part wasn't added based on assumption. JMO.

I completely agree, Momma2cam. I understand that WS requires links to MSM to prevent any of our
opinions being later repeated as
fact.
That said, I do not assume that just because something is reported by MSM, that it is fact. It provides some level of assumed vetting (depending on the media source) but MSM is not without error, and the quality of wording/writing leaves a lot of leeway for accuracy and truth. Personally, I always allow for human error, limited attention to vocabulary, and sloppy editing.
I even listen to LE with wide
open ears. I am hesitant to give their
precise wording too much weight, because I don't have any way of knowing how much intention they are putting behind the choice of every single word they utter. I know that some of these Public Servants are not used to being in the media spotlight, are probably sleep-deprived and stressed out, and may or may not be poets in their leisure time. I try to take everything with a salt-shaker next to my dictionary, if ya know what I'm sayin'.
Just because something is said or written, by anyone, does not mean it is fact.
